Coupes and quattros are Type 85 which is derived from the chassis no. You will see the fol in the chassis no: WWWzzz85z... Oddly the front wheel drive Coupe GT is a Type 85, but a front wheel drive saloon is Type 81. The Coupe quattro, 90 quattro and Ur-quattro are all Type 85.
Plenty of 80 and Coupe parts will fit, but others won't. But they are a good source for bits.

Well... There was typ81q as well... Restricted to some engines
At last in LHD version. Typ81 was, in most cases, pre-facelifted models.
